President Joe Biden reportedly told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday to brace his country for a certain Russian invasion.
Biden told Zelensky that an invasion is virtually certain and to 'prepare for impact,' CNN reported. He said Kiev could be 'sacked' by Russian forces.
He reportedly said Ukraine would not be getting significantly more military help, including reiterating that no U.S. troops would be deployed there, nor would there be preemptive sanctions on Russia or any progress with NATO.
A Ukrainian official told CNN that the call between the two leaders 'did not go well.'
The warning was not part of a White House readout provided after the call - and the spokesperson for the National Security Council Emily Horne called CNN's reporting 'not true' in a tweet.

The military industrial complex is strong in Biden.
